    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 1638D/206K=1430)

     

    If the business was started by the grandfather and your father and uncle were his helpers, then the entire business belonged to the grandfather which will be distributed among his heirs after his death.

    قال في الدر: وکذلک لو اجتمع إخوۃ یعملون في ترکۃ أبیھم ونما المال فھو بینھم سویۃ ولو اختلفوا في العمل والراي الخ ونقل عن القنیۃ الأب والإبن یکتبان في صنعۃ واحدۃ ولم یکن لھما شئ فالکسب کلہ للأب إن کان الإبن في عیالہ لکونہ معینا لہ (الشامي 6:392)
